Wait a minute guys, lets not jump to conclusions about the CEO of Golds Gym making a contribution to Karl Rove's GOP organization. It is just the CEO that gave this donation, not the entire Gold's Gym business entity. I am seriously considering joining a Gold's Gym in one of the Buffalo suburbs since there are no really good gyms in the city itself except for expensive personal trainers.

But where does the CEO get his money? ...From the fees people pay at Golds. So if you belong to Golds, you are giving money to the CEO who is then spending it for anti-gay causes.

chances are that if you spend money on the products or services of just about any major corporation in this country, some of the money will be going to people who 'support anti-gay causes." this golds example may be a bit more high profile, but this would seem to be a witch hunt that you don't want to be on (at the very least for your sanity's sake).

The CEO of Gold's Gym earns his money like all the rest of us. Even though I don't agree with his donation to Karl Rove's GOP organization, it is his personal business where he donates his paycheck. The CEO is only one person in a business organization and Gold's Gym is no different. How would you like to be told not to donate your paycheck or part of it to a gay rights organization, you wouldn't like it obviously. Put a sock in it guys, you are all overreacting.

You're absolutely right. That being said, we don't have to patronize his business. There is nothing wrong with bringing awareness to it. If you choose to still spend money there, then that's your business. If others choose not to, then that's theirs. If you're not of the activist mindset, then ignore the thread. I respect your choice.

You have worded this like we are standing in the way of his freedom of speech, but he is exercising his freedom of speech and in turn some of us are doing the same thing. That's the way it works in a free society. The CEO of Gold's is free to donate money to any political organization he wants, but at the same time I am free to choose who I give my business for any reason I wish.
